Market Scenes, Siem Reap Cambodia
I’ve been checking out local markets to see which will be the best for our 2011 Angkor Photo Workshops. Lighting is a challenge a usual, with dim conditions and difficult white balance control (unless of course you shoot RAW and convert later), but the subject matter is plentiful and the photo opportunities are amazing.

Kuri Dunes’ Wonderful Sillouettes

Last year (2008) during my Myanmar photo tour, I was sitting in the shade at the foot of Mingun Pagoda enjoying a Coke when a Buddhist monk drove up in a home made truck with a load of Burmese folks in the back. Being one of the few foreigners around (tourism was way down […]
